    Yes, I love decorating my bathroom. I don't keep any personal toiletries out. I like my sink free and clear. I don't like toilet paper out either. I love flowers,candles, and decorative soap that goes with my color scheme.
    One of my bathrooms, the sink was huge, and I put a tall vase on it with decorative twigs sticking out,ceramic style candle,small elephant,

    KIVA: Idea here that works: With a renter's small bathroom, one sink, only 1 inch counter space on one side, and approx 10 inches on other side to the wall, a tray is not going to cut it. I recommend a fancy cake or cupcake stand. You can bling it up or paint it to suit your style. It has two levels to hold your items near the sink. Also, it doesn't take up much counter space!

      Put a black plate in the bathroom. You will see dust sticking to it like crazy!

      Most of us have a closet size bathroom. Like in England, the bathroom is called a water closet and I think it is because when toilets came indoors, they used a closet space so they didn't lose any bedrooms.

    Ears too slow? Can’t keep up? Pro tip: Turn on Closed Captions. Our body mechanics, including speech, don’t all work the same way. There’s no reason for KB to take elocution lessons, or slow her roll. I’ve been watching for over a year and have little trouble comprehending her. She’s so worth the minimal effort! Closed captions are helpful to more than the hearing impaired, although I am also that.

    Ok so none of those boxes that tissues come in are ever going to look high-end. Instead, remove the tissue from them and put them in a somewhat wide mouth vase (so you can get them in there) Then pull one up, so people know where to get a tissue.

      Guests who leave it up are so rude. I had a friend I was meeting outside my building to go somewhere together. She insisted on going up to use my bathroom. I hesitated because I had my laundry drying and I was worried that she would leave the lid up and ruin it, but what kind of friend would I be if I didn't let her pee, right? So I kindly asked her to put the lid down before flushing. Not only did she not do that but she went in with her dirty boots after I asked her to take them off (no-shoes-indoors household). So I had to redo the entire load of laundry after that. Thanks, friend. That was the last time I let her inside my home.

Would a small shelf unit slid into the space next to the toilet and facing away from the door not serve as both a table and more hidden storage for TP?

    Hi Kiva, this is kind of unrelated, but I wanted to know if you recommend hanging curtain brackets to the ceiling instead of the wall? My wall above my window seems to have a metal or concrete lintel. I would like your take and expertise on this.

    I really like the toilet paper holders that hook on the side of the tank so it's more out of sight. And definitely the family's toothbrushes need to be separate!
